What struck me the most about this movie... MightyYT Send a noteboard - 22/12/2009 01:25:00 AM
is how all of the trailers and previews made it look very cartoonish. The real thing, however, looked very real. Nothing seemed cartoonish or out of place at all.


Visually stunning. The Na'vi were beautifully rendered. Pandora was gorgeous. All the bio luminescence was breath taking....

And pretty much everything has been covered in previous posts so I see no need to repeat anything else...
Castle: This is so weird. I dressed up as him for Halloween.

Beckett: Me too.

~When Castle and Beckett met Gene Simmons.

Avatar is basically Return of the Jedi, at least the part on Endor. But less militarily plausible Cannoli - 19/12/2009 02:22:35 AM 1203 Views
